Chapter 1023: Chapter 123 Say it again
At that time, after Yang Xiaotian had broken through to the Divine King’s Ten Layers, he arrived at the Great Hall, summoning Deng Fang, Wang Qian, and a group of Elders to inquire about the Star Dragon Sect’s recent situation.
Due to Yang Xiaotian replenishing the Sect Disciples with ten years’ worth of cultivation resources, just within a few days, all Sect Disciples were revived with spirit and motivation.
The disciples, who had almost lost faith in the Sect after the death of Sect Master Wang, couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
After hearing the update, Yang Xiaotian said to Deng Fang and the others, "Make an announcement, in one month we will hold a competition for the Inner and Outer Sect Disciples; the top ten disciples will all receive Spirit Stones and Elixirs as rewards."
"The first place Inner Sect Disciple will be rewarded with thirty thousand Divine Grade Spirit Stones, three Heavenly Grade Bodhi Pills of one Tribulation, and three measures of Hunyuan Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water!"
Deng Fang was stunned by the rewards set by Yang Xiaotian for the first place Inner Sect Disciple.
Thirty thousand Divine Grade Spirit Stones?!
One Tribulation Heavenly Grade Bodhi Pills? And three of them!
Plus, Hunyuan Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, three measures!
One must know, even for Sect Elders like Deng Fang of the Star Dragon Sect, the monthly cultivation resources are but one hundred Divine Spirit Stones, merely twelve hundred a year!
For Inner Sect Disciples of the Star Dragon Sect to use Superior Grade Bodhi Pills during their cultivation was already a luxury, let alone those above Superior Grade, which are then followed by Ultimate Grade, and on top of that is the One Tribulation Heavenly Grade Bodhi Pill!
Even the disciples of the Dragon Nation Imperial Family couldn’t possibly have One Tribulation Heavenly Grade Bodhi Pills for their cultivation.
And Deng Fang and the others, normally if they were injured, would be reluctant to consume the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, yet now Yang Xiaotian was directly awarding Hunyuan Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water as a prize for Inner Sect.
No wonder Deng Fang, Wang Qian, and the others were shocked and their eyes gleamed with envy upon hearing this.
They all wished they could immediately go down and participate in this Inner Sect Disciples competition.
"As for the first place Outer Sect Disciple, the reward will be three thousand Divine Grade Spirit Stones, three One Tribulation Heavenly Grade Nine Divine Pills, and three measures of Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water!" Yang Xiaotian announced further.
Deng Fang and the others were once again greatly moved, as the treatment for the Outer Sect Disciples was now on par with that of the Elders.
Seeing the expressions of Deng Fang and the others, Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, "Don’t worry, you Elders will also compete, and everyone will receive rewards. The first place will be rewarded with three hundred thousand Divine Grade Spirit Stones, thirty One Tribulation Heavenly Grade Emperor Extreme Pills, and thirty measures of Hunyuan Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water!"
Deng Fang, Wang Qian, and the others were astonished by this unexpected surprise.
Three hundred thousand Divine Grade Spirit Stones, thirty One Tribulation Heavenly Grade Emperor Extreme Pills, thirty measures of Hunyuan Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water!
This!
Seeing the stunned reaction of Deng Fang and the others, Yang Xiaotian was not surprised; the morale in the Star Dragon Sect was breaking down, so for this Sect competition, he had to make a strong move to build everyone’s confidence and hope.
"So, in these coming days, you all must cultivate diligently, striving to claim a good ranking at the time of the competition," Yang Xiaotian said to Deng Fang and the others with a smile.
"Sect Leader, rest assured, we will certainly cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations," Deng Fang said excitedly with a cupped fist salute, and Wang Qian and the others also excitedly bowed.
They, of course, understood the good intentions behind Yang Xiaotian setting up this competition.
After calming their excited emotions, Deng Fang said to Yang Xiaotian, "Sect Leader, in a few days, it will be our Dragon Nation Emperor’s grand birthday celebration, and the Emperor has decreed that all Sects in Dragon Nation must participate."
"Oh, the Dragon Nation Emperor’s grand birthday?" Yang Xiaotian said.
"Yes, it’s our Dragon Nation Emperor’s hundred-thousand-year grand celebration, which is the biggest recent event in Dragon Nation," Wang Qian stated.
"Sect Leader, what do you think, should we participate when the time comes?" Deng Fang asked hesitantly, "Since the Emperor has decreed that all Sects in Dragon Nation must participate, it might not bode well for us if we do not."
Yang Xiaotian said calmly, "Since they have issued the order, we naturally must participate." He remembered that previously Deng Fang had mentioned that the third prince of the Dragon Nation had borrowed many Cultivation Technique Manuals and secret tomes related to Ao Xu from the Star Dragon Sect.
He was planning to visit the Dragon Nation Imperial Palace.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian agreed to participate, Deng Fang relaxed and smiled, "Sect Master, when the time comes, what kind of tribute gift do you think we should prepare?"
"Tribute gift?" Yang Xiaotian smiled, "Don’t worry, when the time comes, I will deliver a big present to the Dragon Nation Emperor."
Just then, suddenly, a Sect Disciple guarding the gate ran in with a swollen face, respectfully bowed to Yang Xiaotian, "Sect Master, Liu Guangyu from the Sky Fiend Sect, an Elder, has arrived! He is outside the gate, demanding that Great Elder Hu Zonglai come out to meet him."
"He also said, to bring four thousand Divine Spirit Stones out to him, that the tribute of Spirit Stones must be doubled this time."
Upon hearing this, Deng Fang and the others were both shocked and furious.
"What, four thousand Divine Spirit Stones! The tribute of Spirit Stones is to be doubled again!" Deng Fang said angrily, "Sky Fiend Sect is going too far! Aren’t they pushing our Star Dragon Sect to its death?"
If it had been the Star Dragon Sect of the past, they simply wouldn’t have been able to produce four thousand Divine Spirit Stones—it was virtually a death sentence for the Star Dragon Sect!
Yang Xiaotian looked at the disciple’s swollen face and asked, "Did Liu Guangyu slap you?"
"Yes," the disciple replied with his head lowered, "I was so shocked when I heard him demanding four thousand Divine Spirit Stones that I got slapped by him."
Yang Xiaotian gave the disciple a Healing Grade One, Life Extending Divine Pill for his injuries, and told him to go back and take it for healing.
Both the disciple and Deng Fang were astonished to see Yang Xiaotian readily handing out a Healing Grade One Divine Pill.
"Sect Master, what should we do now?" Deng Fang asked cautiously.
Yang Xiaotian stood up and said to the Godslayer King and the others, "Let’s go, let’s all go out and meet this Sky Fiend Sect Elder."
"Yes, Young Master," the Godslayer King and the others respectfully agreed, and then followed Yang Xiaotian out of the grand hall, flying towards the gate.
Deng Fang, Wang Qian, and others followed behind.
Liu Guangyu, who was waiting outside the gate, saw Yang Xiaotian and the others from afar. Seeing that Hu Zonglai didn’t come out but a young man in a blue robe did, along with Deng Fang and the others, he frowned.
But when he took a clear look at the beauty Meng Bingxue by Yang Xiaotian’s side, he was dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiaotian and his party arrived at the gate.
Liu Guangyu snapped out of it and shouted at Deng Fang, "Where is Hu Zonglai?"
Deng Fang introduced Yang Xiaotian to Liu Guangyu, "This is our new Sect Master of the Star Dragon Sect."
New Sect Master? Liu Guangyu looked skeptical, gazing down at Yang Xiaotian with a condescending look, "You are the new Sect Master of the Star Dragon Sect?" Then he said, "I don’t care who becomes the Sect Master of your Star Dragon Sect, this year’s tribute must be doubled! Four thousand Divine Spirit Stones!"
"If your Star Dragon Sect can’t produce them, then have all of the Sect Disciples from your Sect pitch in!"
"If that’s still not enough, then have all the female disciples of your Sect go out to sell themselves, and even by selling, you must make up the four thousand Divine Spirit Stones!"
Liu Guangyu repeated the orders of the Sect Leader of the Sky Fiend Sect.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian slapped him, striking Liu Guangyu’s left cheek and instantly swelling it up like a pig’s head.
Not only was Liu Guangyu stunned, but all the disciples who came with the Sky Fiend Sect, as well as Deng Fang, were all dumbfounded.
"I didn’t hear what you just said clearly, say it again," Yang Xiaotian said, looking at the other party with cold eyes.
